PEP 💬 We will see tomorrow [Gundogan]. He told me it was tight. He is intelligent to say it but we will see tomorrow.

PEP 💬 We will see. I said many times he can play as a false nine and the people laughed at me. Today it was a clear action to win the penalty and then the two goals. He is so good in those terms.

PEP 💬 I am delighted with his performance, he won the Player of the Month award for January and he still keeps playing this way. In February he could win it again.

PEP 💬 I would say he is able to make this assist for 60, 70 yards [Ederson assist].

[Penalties] For the quality of the shot, Ederson is the best but a penalty is different. I am delighted for Rodri, for the courage to take it.

PEP 💬 I have to reflect. The Champions League is coming, Everton in the quarter final of the FA Cup - and we don't have a real specialist to take a penalty, that is the reality.

PEP 💬 The way they played today at Leicester, they can lose games but of course they can do it. It’s the same Liverpool I met in the last years but in the boxes they are not as clinical as before. But against Leicester they showed they are still there.

PEP 💬 Football is a mood - feelings and not tactics all the time. The quality of the team is still there. The quality of the press, higher play, they create more than the opponent. I enjoy to watch Liverpool.

PEP 💬 With his feet, he is the best, the quality of the pass, I would say, is the best.

Manuel [Neuer] and Victor [Valdés] were incredible too but the quality of the pass (from Ederson) is the best.

PEP 💬 I wouldn't say who is the best because I had success in the past with incredible ‘keepers in Victor, Manuel and Eddie. It's another example (of the recognition Ederson deserves) – he has credit from the manager, backroom staff and players. He’s outstanding and he knows it.

PEP 💬 But the players know: if you want credit and to be recognised, win games, win titles and you will get it.

If you don’t win games and titles, you will not get it. It’s not more difficult than this.

PEP 💬 Yes, of course, it’s a relation. If the attackers have the feeling we are defending well, maybe they are more calm.

We have clean sheets – the back four [on Saturday] were amazing.

PEP 💬 Football is a game where you can create more than the opponent and lose games. It's the only sport it can happen – it doesn’t happen in basketball, tennis, golf…

When you do that, you are closer to winning games. After that, you have to try to be good in the boxes.

PEP 💬 This year, we've made an incredible improvement. We don’t make mistakes. Always I believe that you should create more. You have the ball, pass the ball, run without the ball and be patient with the ball. You need to find the right moment.
